Description Format NOTE Note Author(s)
A dataset containing the Polygons and Cities of Germany. The variables are as follows:
cities - A data.frame with the coordinates and names of the 57 major cities.
bordersgermany.labels - The names of the regions in Germany
bordersgermany.polygon - A list containing the data
of the regions of Germany. As some regions have islands
the first level again is a list containg the matrices with
the coordinates of the polygons.
class(bordersgermany.polygon[[1]])
will result
"list". class(bordersgermany.polygon[[1]][[1]]))
will result "matrix".
three items as described above.
The coordinate are assumed to be on a kilometer level which means, distances measured in KM can be calculated using euklidian distances.
For convenience the coordinates have been moved to an origin located on the south-east corner.
The accuracy of the data is not proven and supposed as a not bad approach. If serious calculations regarding real distances are supposed to be made, this data definitely is unappropriate.
